Jurgen Klopp’s test begins now

After a brief settling period in the first season and this being his first complete season, Jurgen Klopp's time till now in England can be called as a success. He has led Liverpool to two cup finals in his first season and secured the holy top four in the current campaign. He has surely been able to change the mood around the club but his real test begins in the summer and the season after that.

With Champions League sorted, Klopp might probably get the players he needs to take this team to the next level and Liverpool can finally have the first team squad that can stand up to the manager's demands. A trophy and a challenge for league honours will be the demands from the supporters next season as the German has had enough time in the league to get used to the nature of the English game.

With his signings and a proper preseason for the entire squad, big things can and should be expected from Liverpool next season.
